AYANOKOJI POV

Me {The road to school was a bumpy one}

Me {As I watched the landscape change from area to area, the passengers on the bus gradually increased}

Me {Most of the passengers were wearing school uniforms}

Me {I made a mistake by taking the bus}

Me {Even though I managed to get a good seat, there was a cold wind blowing towards me and the whole bus was crowded}

Me {I think I might fall asleep}

??? [Don't you think you should give up your seat?]

Me {I opened my eyes that were about to close, because I thought that someone was scolding me}

Me {But they were scolding the person in front of me}

Me {A young, well-built, blonde-haired man was sitting in priority seating, and the office lady was standing next to the old woman}

Me {The office lady seemed to want the boy to hand over his seat}

Me {In the quiet bus, her voice got louder and louder and attracted more peoples attention}

Blonde boy [Thats a really crazy question, lady]

Me {The boy crossed his legs and smiled}

Blonde boy [Why should I give up my seat to an old woman? There's absolutely no reason for me to give it up]

Office lady [Isn't it natural to hand over the priority seats to the elderly?]

Blonde Boy [Priority seats are priority seats, there is no legal obligation for me to move]

Me {His mannerism is nothing you'd expect from a high schooler}

Me {They continued this back and forth bickering until a girl with the same uniform as me tried to convince the boy to give up his seat}

Girl with the same uniform [Everyone! Could you please listen to me for a moment!?]

Girl with the same uniform [Can anyone give up their seat to the old woman? Anyone?]

Me {I was not in a priority seat but I was near the old woman. By raising my hand and saying "here you go" the situation would be settled}

Me {No one felt that it was necessary to move, because the boy was kind of right}

Me {Looking around, people ignored the interaction or were hesitant, but not the girl next to a white haired boy she had an expressionless face}

Me {And the white haired boy looked angry}

Me {The expressionless girl and I locked eyes for a moment and I thought we had shared the same thoughts}

Random Woman [Here you go!]

Me {After the girls appeal a woman gave up here seat, cause she was unable to endure the guilt}

Girl with the same uniform [Thanks!]

Me {The bus finally arrived at my destination}

Me {Advance Nurturing High-school, I took a deep breath and-}

??? [Wait a second]

Me {I was stopped by the girl who sat next to the white haired boy}

Black Haired girl [You were looking at me a while ago. Why?]
